On Monday, December 19th 2005, New York Giants players Reggie Torbor (# 53), Curtis Deloatch (# 39) and Willie Ponder (# 87) visited children and adolescents at the Incarnation Children's Center, located in Harlem, NY, to celebrate the holiday season with them for the second year in a row. The players teamed up with one another and generously purchased and donated iPods and iTunes gift cards to all of the youths along with additional gift items from the children's wish lists donated by Athletes for Charity, Inc. Ponder also took the time out to assist one of the kids with his homework and later joined Torbor and Deloatch in playing board games with the youths, signing autographs and distributing NY Giants memorabilia.

The Incarnation Children Center (www.incarnationchildrenscenter.org), is a skilled nursing facility exclusively for children and adolescents with HIV/AIDS. It provides specialized care in a nurturing environment for children and provides the child and his/her family with an interdisciplinary service designed to meet the challenges of pediatric HIV/AIDS and minimize its effects on the quality of their life.
